How we handle bath repair in Upper Hartfield
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Upper Hartfield. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upper Hartfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Upper Hartfield?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
